  • Patent number: 11222003
    Abstract: A transaction directed to a hierarchy of data objects stored in a non-transactional data store may be executed. The transaction may be received and description of the transaction stored in a parent data object of the hierarchy. Upon storing the description of the transaction, the transaction may be acknowledged as committed. Access requests for the hierarchy of data objects may be serviced by accessing the description of the transaction and applying to child data objects in the hierarchy returned for servicing a query directed to the hierarchy. A new transaction that is received may initiate application of the transaction according to the description in the parent data object with respect to child data objects.

  • Patent number: 10936559
    Abstract: A secondary index may be implemented for a distributed data set that is strongly consistent. Updates to a distributed data set that add or remove items from the distributed data set may be reflected in the secondary index as part of performing the update. Pointers to items to be added to a distributed data set may be included in the secondary index as part of processing an insertion request for the new items. Pointers to items removed from a distributed data set may be removed from the secondary index as part of processing a deletion request. Changes to the secondary index may be performed so that the secondary index does not fail to identify items that are present in the distributed data set.

  • Patent number: 10452637
    Abstract: Migration of mutable data sets between data stores may be implemented. Multiple data sets may be stored at a source data store. Some of the data sets may be identified for migration to a destination data store. Updates to the identified data sets may be blocked while the identified data sets are copied from the source data store to the destination data store. In some embodiments, the copies of the data sets at the destination data store are validated. Updates to the data sets may then be allowed at the destination data store instead of the source data store.

  • Patent number: 10152705
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for secure device binding that provides user convenience through avoiding repetitive logging in when changing apps or moving from website to website. A mobile device undergoes binding to an account so that customers do not always have to enter their password when going through a financial transaction process, on a known (e.g., registered) mobile device. A device may be bound during an initial login, and once logged in, the user can select an option to be “remembered” so that the user need not re-login on the same device for future visits with an app or to a website that shares the service provider library.

  • Publication number: 20030233329
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for providing content services to mobile devices. The method and system should provide these content services to the mobile devices while ensuring user privacy. The method and system should also allow one or more content providers that provide the content services to collect payment for the use of the content services. In one embodiment, a user makes a request for content from an affiliated content provider (Affiliated Content Provider A). This request travels from the wireless device (where it is a request over a radio frequency) thru one or more wireless infrastructure devices until it arrives as a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) request over an Ethernet to a proxy server. The proxy server then requests the source Internet Protocol (IP) address of the wireless device that sent the request.
